Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 186 Why Repay Your Gratitude?only do one's best

In the following time, Yang Ming has nothing else to do except practicing swords. The follow-up matters of the war, rewards and punishments, have their own special bureaus and ministers in charge. All Yang Ming does is wait for his own share. The military exploits have become something substantial and just fall into one's own pocket.

When the time came to May, the entire southern bank of the Great River in Qin State had already come to the busy farming season. It was also at this time that the war that took place in the sixth year of Qin Wangzheng was also the last joint war in this world.

But the influence of this war is still continuing. In the distant state of Chu, Chen Ying, the monarchs and ministers of the court of Chu State are already discussing moving the capital to Huainan to avoid the Qin State's soldiers.

After the great defeat of Zhao State and the injury of the tiger, the fierceness became even more obvious. The Zhao army who returned to the border of Zhao State did not disband, but went directly towards Qi State. Poor Qi State wanted to stay out of the matter, but It happened that the door was closed, and several cities were inevitably captured by Zhao Guo.

In the distant country of Yan, the long-standing debate on whether to form an alliance with Qin gradually had a detailed answer.

South Korea is also looking for its own way out.

Everyone in Wei State was also in a state of anxiety, guessing which country Qin State's revenge would fall on?

This question is really a question that people don't want to think about, but they can't help thinking about it.

However, none of these have much to do with Yang Ming. Here, the rewards and punishments of this great war have finally come to fruition. It is the existence with the most wonderful performance, whether it is the contribution in the overall battle situation or the number of cuts at the front of the battle, it is the existence of the highest few.

Yang Ming, a white man who has no titles in Wei Wei's mansion, has actually obtained his own title, a title he personally fought with a halberd and a sword: Five Doctors, ranked among the twenty nobles The ninth rank among them can be regarded as the middle-level existence in the twenty military merit system.

At the same time, Wang Jian was also awarded the title of five doctors.

Zhao Ji was not satisfied with this result. Her original intention was to allow Yang Ming to obtain the title of Zuo Shuzhang. In this way, Yang Ming could be compared to Jiuqing when he entered the court, and he could be the leader of a county when he entered and left. General of the First Army.

But the reality is very cruel. Zhao Ji doesn't know the details of rewards and punishments for Qin's military merits. When Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother refused her request because they didn't understand the rules, even Zhao Ji couldn't do anything about it, because it involved Qin. The most fundamental military merit system, even for her, it is difficult to act recklessly.

"Lu Buwei is very kind. He is already a Marquis, and he can't be promoted, so he increased his food town to [-] households. What does he want to do? Back then, Lord Wu'an Baiqi didn't have so many food towns with his great military achievements. He is thick-skinned enough, has he really forgotten how he was defeated by Yang Ming's defeated general Pang Nuan in the pursuit of the Zhao Wei coalition?" Zhao Ji, who failed to get what she wanted in Xianyang Palace, He sneered and complained in front of Qin Wangzheng again and again.

"Father Zhong has contributed a lot to strategizing in this war." Qin Wangzheng said noncommittally.

"Strategies? Is that what Lu Buwei said? Heh, his face is unusual. If he had strategized, he would have tens of thousands of allied forces from Zhao and Wei rush to Guanzhong, which is only tens of miles away from Xianyang. He is arrogating power. What does he want to do to bully you, the king, maybe he wants to be a powerful minister?" Zhao Ji sneered.

Wasn't it a sin to be almost attacked by the enemy under the capital city?
Lu Buwei's unruly behavior is a trampling on the king's power, but the king's power belongs to Qin Wangzheng. How could Zhao Ji not be angry when Lu Buwei bullied her son like this, not to mention, in the process of explaining his merits, Lu Buwei also After bullying Yang Ming, new hatred and old hatred added together, at this time Zhao Ji's dislike for Lu Buwei has reached its peak.

"But the result is good after all. If Father Zhong didn't come back to help in time, it would be very difficult to defend Mincheng." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Your Majesty really thinks so?" Zhao Ji looked at Qin Wangzheng, and there was already a mother's scrutiny in her eyes.

"Yes." Qin Wangzheng nodded.

"That's right." Zhao Ji said inexplicably, and she didn't know what she thought of.

Qin Wangzheng looked at his mother, Zhao Ji, who was still angry, and didn't know where Zhao Ji's anger came from.
Is it because Zhong's father is arbitrarily powerful, and he complains about the injustice for the widow, or is it purely because he failed to get what he should want from his own people.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng's heart couldn't help but a bold and crazy idea appeared in his mind uncontrollably: if the mother's empress does not get along with Zhong's father, it may be more beneficial to the widow.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help pondering. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. He was already 19 years old. According to tradition, he was about to reach the age of crowning. Someone just suppressed a courtier who had this kind of thinking, and it was naturally self-evident who that person was.

"Because the governor of Hedong County lost his chance before the battle, the coalition forces of Zhao and Wei rushed into Xianyang from their jurisdiction, which almost caused the war situation to collapse. There was a big mistake. According to the military law, he belonged to the three tribes of barbarians, but in his final battle against Zhao and Wei on the south bank of the Dahe River. The allied forces did not retreat and sacrificed their lives for the country, so the sentence was changed and the three clans were exiled to the western border of Longxi, and the clan property was confiscated." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Why did your lord tell the Ai family these things?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously.

"The governor of Hedong County has a mansion in the inner city of Xianyang, which is not small in scale. Outside Xianyang city, there is also a manor covering an area of ​​[-] hectares, which can be rewarded to Yang Ming who has made great achievements." Qin Wangzheng said.

"The family property of the governor of Hedong County is quite rich." Zhao Ji mused, her phoenix eyes narrowed subconsciously.

How could Qin Wangzheng, who was familiar with Zhao Ji's little habits, not be able to see that Zhao Ji was in a very good mood at this time, and she was not as angry as before, but this discovery did not make Qin Wangzheng feel any joy , on the contrary, the doubts that have been lingering in my heart have deepened.

"Hedong is an important place, and its prefect has a very good position in Qin State." Qin Wangzheng said.

"The queen mother doesn't need to quarrel with Zhong's father because of the widow. Besides, Yang Ming..." Qin Wangzheng had a more thoughtful expression when he spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ji heard Qin Wangzheng talk about Yang Ming, and subconsciously looked at Qin Wangzheng. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was she just too angry that she overreacted.

"If the queen mother wants to promote Yang Ming, there is actually another chance." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Actually, the Ai family didn't plan to raise Yang Ming to a high position, but..." Zhao Ji pondered, and then thought that she was more guilty of being so secretive, so she changed her words: "It's just that Yang Ming didn't He has made great contributions, if he can't be treated fairly, wouldn't it appear that anyone can bully the Ai family?"

"The widow knows what the queen mother is thinking, so there is another opportunity for Yang Ming to make meritorious service. If Yang Ming can earn this credit and promote his title to Zuo Shuzhang, then he will be ranked in Jiuqing, or As a governor of a county and a general of an army, even Zhongfu can’t say much.” Qin Wangzheng said, his voice was still calm, making it difficult for people to hear anything from his tone, but between his words But quite bewitching.

"What chance?" Zhao Ji was really moved.

"Among the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, there is a small country of Wei. Although the country of Wei only came to fill up because of the country of Wei, since it dares to come, it will naturally teach it and the country of Wei behind it." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Guo Wei?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise, what does Wei Guo have to do with Yang Ming?
"In the early autumn, the Qin State Council will launch troops against the country of Wei. If the queen mother is interested, she can make preparations in advance and prompt Yang Ming to lead the army to go to the country of Wei, the country of Wei, and Xiao Guoer. , the achievement of destroying the country, although the country is a little small, but it is also the achievement of destroying the country, and when the time comes, Yang Ming will be promoted to a high position, even Zhongfu will not be able to say anything." Qin Wangzheng said.

"So that's the case, this is a good way, but, how can the Ai family facilitate this?" Zhao Ji asked.

"This? Maybe you can ask the queen mother, the queen mother, she is familiar with government affairs, so she should have a good idea." Qin Wangzheng said.

"Her?" Zhao Ji's eyes fixed upon hearing this, and she had already looked at Qin Wangzheng, but how could she see what Qin Wangzheng was thinking with her eyesight.

"She's really good at this." Zhao Ji, who couldn't see why, nodded in a contemplative manner, which would make her look less stupid.

If Yang Ming had known from the beginning that Zhao Ji's stupidity was beyond his imagination, he might have changed his plan. Unfortunately, now he has completely boarded Zhao Ji's boat. Difficult.

However, fortunately for Yang Ming, he didn't know that much, so when Zhao Ji handed over a house deed to Yang Ming, Yang Ming was still very happy.

In his hand is a piece of plain silk, on which is a large-scale mansion, which occupies a large area in front and back, and there are rows of small seal scripts beside it recording the regulations, area and property rights of the mansion, and there should be an internal history The big seal of the government.

"Finally there is a big house to live in." Yang Ming put away the silk, and did not hide his joy at all. After all, in front of Zhao Ji, at this time, he no longer needed to deliberately show or hide anything as before. up.

After all, the two of them are already familiar with each other and cannot be more familiar with each other.

"You like big houses so much?" Seeing that Yang Ming was happy, Zhao Ji also felt happy in her heart.

"First, build a big bathroom." Yang Mingchang thought, this is something he has been thinking about for a long time.

"Bah, you little bastard, you don't want to do anything good." Zhao Ji said with disgust when she heard the words.

"I'm talking about taking a bath." Yang Ming explained.

"That's what the Ai family said." Zhao Ji stared at her phoenix eyes, and then her complexion became more flushed. What happened in the bathroom of Ganquan Palace last month has uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

When Yang Ming saw Zhao Ji at this time, he was also slightly taken aback. This is really a sentimental queen mother.

For a moment, Yang Ming and Zhao Ji looked at each other in dismay, and both of them saw the abnormality in the other.

"Today's weather seems a bit hot, yes, it's already May, and it's an extremely hot time of the year." Zhao Ji said pointedly.

"Yes, Queen Mother, you are sweating." Yang Ming said.

"So?" Although Zhao Ji was asking, it was obvious that she already had the answer she wanted.

"Naturally, I'm looking for a place where I can enjoy the shade." Yang Ming hugged Zhao Ji by the waist while speaking.

There is no way, just now I got a big mansion that I have been thinking about, people, you must know how to be grateful, what can Yang Ming, a young man with only one long thing on his body, do in the face of such kindness from the Queen Mother?

The only way he can grow bigger is by devoting himself to death.

When Yang Ming left home Ganquan Palace, it was already nightfall. Taking advantage of the darkness, Yang Ming rode alone on the way back to the small courtyard, touched the house deed in his arms, and thought of many things.

For the existence of a house, there is a deep obsession imprinted in Yang Ming's soul.
